The phone is a walkman phone and it will be a bit softer than the non walkman Z610. But as you compare both of them the W710 will better sound clarity.
Hey you should have bought the W610. It is louder. But the W710 aint bad.

hey my mother bought z610i and i have w710i so my question iz that the sound of w710i iz less then z610i aur there is some prob with my cell and ya i am talking about speakers not about head phone plz replyyyyyyyyy!!!!

well za battery stays with me up to 5 days and even more_if i don't turn on za walkman_actually i think this phone is better than Z710, W710 also has 3 advantages that doesn't exist in Z710: it has a walkman, and the memory card included is 512 MB, besides that W710 is a sports mob., it has a fitness feature..
that's why i think W710 is a better one..

hey guys..this mob. is awesom..it rox..
but i can only find 1 disadvantage: i can't zoom in za pics i captured..i tried everything..can anyone just tell me is this true or za prob. is in me?..coz i couldn't believe zat such an awesom mob. doesn't have this function..

the rubber that we mean is the the front of the phone where you can change mp3 tracks there you listen or change a radio station.
Yes,it is bad because i have talk with the sony ericsson service center and they told me that it isnt in the warranty...

So,if you want to buy that phone,buy a phone case to save the rubber.

I have a w710 and the rubber has even came off so i want buy some S500 without rubber and these stuff...

hi guys!!
after i read all the opinion, almost 95% of u guys mention about the rubber that keep coming out. im about to buy this phone soon. so, just want to know which rubber r u guys talking about?
is it bad?

hi, i have had the phone now for almost six months, i have changed the rubber under the warranty. There also is problem with the bluetooth: it works fine wen data is being sent out, but wen i try to get any data via bluetooth, it gives me an error that the memory is full, wen its not. Also wen i play tennis via bluetooth the connection is lost after the 2nd set. The sound recorder dsnt work even after the change...
can some one let me know if this is a sriuos problem, coz they have upgraded my software with a new handset.... but the problem still persists. PLZ HELP wanted urgently..... email me.

To look your w710i as if its new again, I bought myself an external protective hard-plastic on it. that's why the rubber is still stick on it, also a black phone "sock", My comment with this is that, the external camera has no protection. also the earphone easily loose, the external display has no protection also (because I already removed the plastin on it)

Can someone tell me how to increase the battery back up of this phone? It only lasts for max 3 hours ... how long do i recharge this phone..?? Also I am upset about the zoom feature in the camea of this phone.. U cannot zoom in !! and one more thing.. the pictures that u have saved in the phone cannot be zoomed either .. :( very disappointing..

i am using this for 6 months, pretty good. recently i downloaded .jad and .jar files and installed chess program from web which is working fine. now i want quickoffice jar and jad files.. can anybody help me? if you have those files please e-mail me and secondly is there a way to view the video full screen
thanks

i got this w710 and before that i had w700i
and i should say that w700 has a good camera result than this w710 and also i use this for 3 months and the rubber came off so what should i do buy a new one or claim the warranty

AN IDEA TO FIX THE peeling off of the rubber
I have an idea to fix the peeling of the rubber.
1) Laminate the outer part body of the phone. In this way the rubber nuisance will be controlled to a great extent.
It worked for me. I hope all u people understand.... Now your W710 is the best phone.
I know video is QCIF.But ignorable.
Hey even some N series phone have Qcif video.

i want to buy this one!! it has got everything i.e great music player.. 2 megapixel camera..edge....great looks to impress girls...looks great in soft hands..nice display....external music keys....512 mb card..what else do i want in this price?? thank you SE!!!!

Hi, i have had this phone for quite some time and below are its +'s and -'s

--------+'s--------------
1) nice look
2) sports utilities
3) fast UI
4) clearer sound then N70M
5) big keys, so a good feature for ppl with big fingers like me.
6) can be handled pretty rough.
7) external music keys
|||||||||||||||||-'s|||||||||||||||||||
1) rubber comes off, nothing works, recommend not using superglue as once that us used the service cnr guys will not gaurantee a zero damage replacement.
2) the sound is not loud enough.
3) ok images
4) unprotected camera
5) no zoom in 1 and 3MP
6) once the rubber is off, the external music keys are a pain to use.
7)the phone is not useable when transfering filed using USB.
8)the head phone jack comes loose

i have this phone about 5 months and the rubber came off, i used super glue but it came off again im very dissapointed, also cable became loose from frequent change between the ear plug, charger nad usb cable. I suggest sony ericssion go back to their drawing board and redesign this problem.

i got this phone. its ery hot but there r two main disadvantages.1) the rubber comes off. i tried to super glue it but it came off again so we need to do this process f glueing quite frequently. 2) the camera image quality is not that good.
